So my pc came with a stock Toshiba m.2 NVMe ssd that is B+M, I also bought a new m.2 ssd and noticed it was just an M could that be a reason my pc won't boot with that one in. 

 

I've been looking around the internet for a m.2 B+M that isn't SATA and I can't seem to find one

An SSD cannot be B+M , it can either be M or B

 

The slot can be B+M

All B+M SSDs are SATA. SSDs with M keys only are NVMe.

Thats what I meant do you have any idea why the one my desktop came with has two slots and being a NVMe and not SATA

I have two slots instead of one and it says I have an NVMe on the ssd

You can also see the B key right above the M key.

They created some confusion, I hate the way they name it.

 

You have an ''B+M'' Slot

 

And 'B''

And ''M" SSD's

 

It's in the wiriing,

 

Same way you have a ''16x '' slot with PCIe, but it's only wired for x4

 

Very confusiong tbh

This is an M key SSD, right?

 

Now, here's another SSD.

It has two keys!!!! Wow!

One of them is the M key, and now there's a second B key!

 

What happens when you add B and M?

You get the B and M key!!!!!

No, the first is the ''B'' 

 

Second is the ''M''

[masonk3127]

The one that has two keys is what I have now

[LienusLateTips]

The first one doesn't even have a B key. That first one is M key only.

The second one has both keys. Therefore, it is a B+M key. That's what PCPartPicker calls it, that's what SSD manufacturers call it, and that's the common name for it. It is an B+M key.

That's the only one available, and it looks like it's out of stock.

Your best option is probably the 500GB SN500 from WD. It's not that good of a value, but it's the highest capacity one available.

That's literally not NVMe. That's not what the OP is asking for.

I think it's what OP is asking for. I think he means the slot doesnt carry NVMe Signals, Lol
